This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in America experience.
BULLY is the first feature documentary film to show how we've all been affected by bullying, whether we've been victims, perpetrators or stood silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground. As the sun rises and school buses across the country overflow with backpacks, brass instruments and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, this is a ride into the unknown.
Hirsch takes us into classrooms and cafeterias, on school buses and inside principal’s offices, providing an insight into how bullying is ignored and downplayed. For school administrations, BULLY is a wake up call. The crisis is real and the consequences of failing to confront the bullies and change school cultures are devastating. BULLY also shows us just how difficult it is for parents to help their children, access support and find solutions.
Recommended viewing for teenagers, their parents and their teachers, BULLY is a powerful and provocative documentary that seeks to inspire real changes in the way we deal with bullying as a society.
